A special education teacher in Minnesota has resigned after she apparently tweeted calling for newly-confirmed Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be killed.

The teacher, who remains unnamed and went by Twitter handle Spooky Spam, wrote 'So whose gonna take one for the team and kill Kavanaugh' hours after he was sworn onto the Supreme Court on Saturday.

She was immediately outed by social media users and deleted her Twitter account.

A Minnesota special education teacher with the Twitter handle Spooky Spam tweeted 'So whose gonna take one for the team and kill Kavanaugh' on Saturday

She tweeted on Saturday hours after Judge Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed onto the Supreme Court. Twitter users reported her to the FBI, landing her in hot water and leading the school district to place her on administrative leave

The teacher worked at Alliance Education Center in Rosemount, Minnesota. The Intermediate School District 917 announced her administrative leave on Monday. She resigned on Tuesday

However, the tweet was saved by furious Twitter users and flagged to the Secret Service and FBI, who confirmed they were aware of the said post.

The teacher, who worked at the Alliance Education Center in Rosemount, was then placed on administrative leave after someone alerted the school district about her post.

The Intermediate School District 917 website released a statement on Monday saying that they received a complaint about the female teacher leading to her being placed on leave.

'Over the weekend, the district has received a complaint regarding an employee. The employee has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation,' Superintendent Mark A. Zuzek said.

Zuzek said in a statement Tuesday that the employee has voluntarily resigned after being placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation.

The Star Tribune hasn't named the woman because she hasn't been charged with a crime.
